Success stories with selling on ARMSLIST?

**thouseknecht** · August 11th, 2022, 04:41 PM

Has anyone had any luck buying a single month of ARMSLIST membership and selling a couple guns? If yes did you have to ship them?

Any general feedback on how that’s gone would great. Thanks!

I don't ship firearms, just my personal preference. i have listed firearms and sold them in person, and found firearms and bought them in person. List your phone number if selling, that way people without a paid membership can get in touch with you. I have a textfree number on my iphone's textfree app that way it doesn't give out my real number, and i don't have a risk of being harassed by people.

Awesome idea. Thanks for your input. I really don*t want to ship. Was curious if the buyer pool was large enough to have enough *locals* to draw from.

As a whole the gun market seems super saturated right now.

I use broker to buy, I never sell though.

It depends on your area and how far you're willing to drive to meet up with a potential buyer. I have also used the classified section in this forum successfully and i've never been murdered.

I don't find Armslist all that intriguing. You have to be a member to list and to view (although my old account seems to work fine for viewing for whatever reason). Which leads to a smaller pool of customers. And the forced membership didn't really reduce the scams too much.

If I'm buying a gun related thing in PA, here and PennsWoods/Rennug are my go to places.
